LmTER  OF  TRANSMI'ITAL 


Department  of  the  Intebiob, 

Bureau  op  Education, 
Washington,  D.  (7.,  March  10,  1890. 

Sib  :  I  have  the  honor  to  transmit  herewith  an  English-Eskimo  vo- 
cabulary of  11,318  words,  and  to  recommend  the  publication  of  10,000 
ll'/copies  as  a  hand-book  for  the  Alaskan  teachers. 

The  introductory  note  by  Lieut.  Commander  Charles  H.  Stockton,  of 
the  U.  S.  S.  Theti8,  to  whose  intelligent  foresight  the  preparation  of  the 
work  is  due,  and  to  whom  this  Office  is  indebted  for  the  gift  of  the  manu- 
script, explains  the  sources  of  the  material  and  the  circumstances  of  the 
compilation. 

The  Bureau  of  Education  being  charged  with  the  supervision  of  edu- 
cation in  Alaska,  I  have  come  to  appreciate  the  value  of  all  means  or 
appliances  that  will  in  any  way  promote  a  better  understanding  of,  and 
an  easier  communication  with,  the  native  races  of  that  Territory,  and  I 
therefore  deem  the  acquisition  of  this  vocabulary  as  exceedingly  fortu- 
nate. It  will  be  of  great  service  not  only  to  the  teachers  for  whom  it  is 
primarily  intended,  but  to  officers  of  the  Navy  and  of  the  Revenue  Marine 
service,  all  Government  officials  in  Alaska,  committees  of  Congress 
visiting  that  country,  and  many  others  who  for  various  reasons  are  in- 
terested in  the  study  of  the  Eskimo  language.  I  may  add,  as  evidence 
for  this  statement,  that  the  Superintendent  of  the  Census  has  earnestly 
requested  the  publication  of  the  vocabulary  as  an  aid  to  the  Census  Office. 

The  expense  of  this  publication  will  not  be  great,  and  may  properly 
be  charged  to  the  fund  for  the  "  education  of  children  in  Alaska, 
without  distinction  of  race." 

Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

W.  T.  Harris, 

Commissioner, 

The  Seoeetary  of  the  Interior.

lNTRODUaX)RY  NOTE. 


The  U.  S.  S.  Thetis  was  detailed  by  the  Navy  Department  to  croise, 
during  the  summer  and  autumn  of  1889,  in  the  Behring  Sea  and  Arctic 
Ocean,  for  the  purpose  of  looking  out  for  the  whaling  and  commercial 
interests  of  the  United  States  in  those  waters,  and  also  for  the  purpose 
of  assisting  in  the  establishment  of  a  house  of  refuge  at  Point  Barrow, 
the  most  northerly  point  of  our  territory. 

During  this  cruise,  in  order  to  make  it  as  broad  and  useful  as  pos- 
sible, several  of  the  officers  on  board  of  the  Thetis  were  directed  to  pre- 
pare reports  upon  subjects  connected  with  the  waters  and  regions 
visited  by  the  ship,  from  their  observation  and  from  other  reliable 
sources.  Two  reports  were  submitted  to  me  upon  the  subject  of  the 
Eskimos  of  north-western  Alaska ;  one  on  the  ethnography  of  the  Es- 
kimos, by  John  W.  Kelly,  and  the  other  an  Eskimo  vocabulary,  prepared 
by  Ensign  Roger  Wells,  jr.,  almost  entirely  from  information  and 
material  furnished  by  Mr.  John  W.  Kelly,  the  interpreter  of  the  ship. 
Mr.  Kelly  spent  three  winters  among  the  north-western  Eskimos,  and  has 
been  engaged  for  seven  years  at  various  times  in  acquiring  a  knowledge 
of  the  language.  The  vocabulary  is  the  largest  in  number  of  words 
that  I  know  of,  treating  of  the  language  of  the  Eskimos  upon  our  Arctic 
coast.  It  has  a  short  vocabulary  of  the  American  Eskimos  who  are  set- 
tled upon  the  Asiatic  side  of  Behring  Strait,  which,  I  think,  will  be 
found  particularly  interesting  and  valuable. 

The  Thetis  had  the  good  fortune  during  this  summer  of  reaching  as 
far  east  as  Mackenzie  Bay  and  as  far  west  as  Herald  Island  and  Wran- 
gell  Land,  thus  leaving  an  honorable  name  for  service  among  Arctic 
cruisers.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  reports,  memoranda,  and  other 
contributions  secured  through  the  ready  co-operation  of  the  officers  of 
the  ship  will  serve  also  to  make  a  permanent  and  useful  record  of  the 
cruise  creditable  to  the  ship,  interesting  to  the  general  reader,  and  of 
value  as  contributions  to  our  knowledge  of  the  Territory  of  Alaska.

MEMORANDA  CONCERNING  THE  ARCTIC  ESKIMOS 

IN  ALASKA  AND  SIBERIA. 


By  John  W.  Kelly. 


[Revised  and  edited  by  Sheldon  Jackson,  D.  D.,  United  States  General  Agent  of  Edu- 
'.':  cation  in  Alaska. ] 


The  Eskimos  on  tlie  Arctic  coast  of  Alaska  claim  to  be  indigenous  to 
the  couutry  in  which  they  live ;  that  they  inhabited  the  mountainous  re- 
gion on  the  north  side  of  Kotzebue  Sound  before  the  surface  of  the  Arctic 
land  was  changed  aiicl  before  the  northern  portion  rose  from  the  sea. 
Their  traditions  assert  that  in  the  beginning  the  people  had  heads  like 
ravens,  with  eyes  on  the  upper  part  of  their  breasts,  and  all  the  world 
was  wrappedfin  gloom,  with  no  change  of  day  or  night.  At  that  time 
there  lived  a  powerful  chieftain  on  top  of  the  highest  peak.  Sus- 
pended in  the  roof  of  his  hut  were  two  balls,  which  were  considered  very 
precious,  and  were  carefully  guarded.  One  day,  the  chief  being  absent 
and  the  guards  asleep,  some  children,  wBo  had  long  admired  the  beau- 
tiful balls,  knocked  them  down  with  a  stick.  They  rolled  across  the 
floor  of  the  hut,  through  the  door,  and  down  the  mountain  side.  The 
noise  awakened  the  guards,  who  hurried  out  after  the  escaped  treasure. 
The  extraordinary  beauty  of  the  bounding  balls  attracted  the  attention 
of  the  people,  who  rushed  after  them.  A  wild  struggle  for  their  pos- 
session ensued,  which  ended  in  breaking  them. 

Light  sprang  from  one  and  darkness  from  the  other.  These  were 
mighty  spirits.  Both  claimed  dominion  and  neither  would  yield.  At 
length  a  compromise  was  made,  and  they  agreed  to  an  alternate  rule. 
This  was  the  beginning  of  day  and  night.  Their  violent  struggles  for 
the  mastery  had  so  disturbed  the  world  that  the  anatomy  of  the  people 
and  the  surface  of  the  earth  \i^ere  changed.  Light  being  upon  the  earth, 
men  began  to  catch  whales  in  the  sea  and  to  carry  the  flesh  and  bones 
to  their  mountain  home. 

One  family  wandering  oVer  the  country  recently  arisen  from  the  sea 
came  down  upon  what  is  now  called  Point  Hope.  Finding  vegetatiop 
springing  up  and  whales  plentiful,  they  built  a  but,  and  made  it  their

permanent  home.  Tears  wept  on  and  the  father  and  mother  died. 
Some  of  the  children  had  strayed  away  and  otliers  had  returned  to  the 
home  country,  till  only  a  brother  and  sister  were  left. 

One  day  they  quarreled,  and  he  killed  her.  Ever  after,  when  out 
hunting,  her  spirit  would  accost  him  from  first  one  edible  plant  and 
then  another.  At  each  occurrence  of  the  voice  he  would  destroy  the 
plant  with  a  club.  Following  her  from  plant  to  plant  he  destroyed  them 
all.  She  then  took  refuge  in  the  sun,  whose  dazzling  rays  the  murderer 
could  not  face.  He  then  went  to  the  moon,  where  with  club  in  hand  he 
could  follow  her  up  for  all  time. 

The  Eskimos  were  the  only  people  in  the  world.  Way  back  in  the 
dim  past  some  of  them  were  carried  away  on  the  ice,  and  managed  to 
live  on  seals  and  other  animals  they  killed,  until  they  reached  an  inhab- 
ited land  a  long  distance  north  of  Point  Barrow.  They  remained  there 
until  winter,  when  they  returned  in  safety  to  the  main-land. 

LOCATION. 

Leaving  the  legendary  and  coming  down  to  the  present,  we  find  the 
Eskimos  occupying  the  whole  Arctic  co^st  of  Alaska,  together  with  a 
portion  of  the  Siberian  coast.         < 

SIBERIAN  ESKIMOS. 

There  are  settlements  of  Eskimos  at  Gape  Tchaplin  (Indian  Point), 
Plover  Bay,  and  East  Cape.  How  long  they  have  been  there  and  how 
much  of  the  country  they  have  occupied  can  only  be  conjectured.  Those 
occupying  St.  Lawrence  Island,  Cape  Tchaplin,  and  part  of  the  shores 
of  Plover  Bay,  on  the  main-laud  of  Asia,  opposite  St.  Lawrence  Island, 
speak  a  dialect  nearer  like  that  of  Point  Barrow  or  the  Mackenzie  Eiver 
than  the  dialects  of  the  Diomedes  or  Kotzebue  Sound.  That  the  Eski- 
mos of  Asia  have  been  there  a  great  many  years  is  a  certainty.  The 
Deermen  people,  whose  principal  support  is  domesticated  reindeer,  have 
gradually  crowded  out  the  Eskimos  or  Fishmen,  and  have  almost  ab- 
sorbed them  by  assimilation.  They  wear  no  labrets,  and  in  dress  and 
tattooing  are  the  same  as  the  Deermen.  That  they  have  lived  in  under- 
gi'ound  houses  is  abundantly  proved  by  the  ruins  at  Cape  Tchaplin  of 
old  huts  which  have  been  framed  with  whole  jaws  of  whales.  Now  they 
I  live  in  huts  above  ground,  covered  with  walrus  hides.    They  are  built 

in  the  same  manner  as  those  of  the  Deermen,  who  use  a  covering  of  rein- 
deer robes.  From  the  Deermen  they  have  also  learned  to  cremate  their 
dead,  instead  of  scattering  the  dead  bodies  over  the  plain,  according  to 
the  custom  of  the  American  Eskimos.  Like  the  American  Eskimos, 
they  deposit  the  personal  property  of  the  deceased  at  his  grave.  If  he 
was  a  great  hunter,  they  also  erect  a  monument  of  reindeer  antlers  over 
his  grave.  Their  songs  and  dances  are  to  a  certain  extent  the  same  as 
those  of  the  Deermen,  but  their  manner  of  living  and  their  language

At  East  Gape,  Siberia,  there  is  a  trace  of  the  Arctic  Eskimos,  but  ditt'er- 
iugfrom  their  nearest  Eskimo  neighbors,  the  Diomede  people. 

In  the  vicinity  of  East  Gape  there  are  a  few  ruins  of  underground 
houses,  and  a  few  Eskimo  words  are  still  used  by  the  peo])le.  Twenty 
miles  westward  from  Gape  Tchaplin  is  Plover  Bay,  where  both  the  Es- 
kimo and  Deermen  language  is  spoken,  but  the  Eskimo  is  on  a  rapid 
decline. 

St.  Marcos  Bay,  which  lies  between  Plover  Bay  and  Gape  Tchaplin, 
is  inhabited  by  Deermen ;  also  the  country  between  East  Gape  and 
Gape  Tchaplin.  In  fact,  the  Deermen  now  have  all  the  country  from  the 
Arctic  to  Gape  Navarin  and  beyond,  except  the  points  named.  Oomoo- 
jek,  on  Gape  Tchaplin,  is  the  Asiatic  Eskimo  metropolis.  The  principal 
industry  is  whaling,  sealing,  and  walrusing. 

The  Oomoojek  chief,  Eohorra,  is  the  weUthiest  Eskimo  in  the  north- 
west. In  addition  to  large  stores  of  guns,  whisky,  ammunition,  and 
articles  of  trade,  he  possesses  a  large  herd  of  tame  reindeer.

Glarence.  They  love  to  boast  of  their  former  greatness.  One  old  fel- 
low, who  is  a  philosopher,  geographer,  and  seer  among  the  Eskimos, 
made  a  map  of  his  country  of  Kavea ;  although  a  little  out  of  propor- 
tion it  is  an  excellent  one  in  its  way.  It  contains  all  the  mountains, 
streams,  and  settlements,  with  marks  to  indicate  certain  minerals.  Some 
of  these  were  afterwards  located  by  personal  observation.  It  includes 
East  Gape  and  the  Diomedes  within  the  bounds  of  Kavea,  which  places, 
he  says,  were  once  peopled  by  the  same  natives.  At  the  present  day, 
however,  the  dialect  of  East  Cape  is  different  from  both  that  of  the 
Diomedes  and  Kavea.  The  Diomedes  and  Gape  Prince  of  Wales  peo- 
ple have  a  dialect  which  is  more  guttural  ai^d  harder  to  understand 
than  any  other  of  the  Eskimos. 

The  Kavea  country  is  almost  depopulated,  owing  to  the  scarcity  of 
game,  which  has  been  killed  off  or  driven  away. 

The  country  was  once  full  of  Arctic  hare  and  marmots,  both  of  which 
have  been  about  exterminated.  Eeindeer  have  long  since  been  driven 
away,  but  fish  are  still  abundant  in  all  the  lakes  and  streams. 

The  remnants  of  the  Kavea  tribe  are  scattered  over  whole  of  Arctic 
Alaska.  Wherever  found  they  are  impudent,  energetic,  and  perse- 
vering. What  few  remain  at  home  .rival  the  Kinegans  of  Gape  Prince 
of  Wales  in  lawlessness.  Nearly  every  year  there  is  a  report  of  from 
one  to  three  being  killed.

THE  TIGARA  MUTES.* 

The  Tigaras,  who  inhabit  Point  Hope  and  hunt  over  the  hills  imme- 
diately back  of  that  point,  claim  that  they  once  exerciHed  control  over 
all  the  country  from  Kotzebue  Sound  north  to  ley  Cape,  and  eastward 
as  far  as  Deviation  Peak,  on  the  north  side  of  the  Kowak  or  Putnam 
River. 

Point  Hope,  being  favorably  situated  for  whaling,  sealing,  and  wal- 
rnsing,  with  an  unfailing  supply  of  food  for  winter,  soon  became  the 
centre  of  power.  In  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century,  as  near 
as  can  be  determined,  the  Tigara  village  on  Point  Hope  had  a  po])ula- 
tlon  of  2,000,  with  six  council  houses.  At  that  time  the  growing  tribe 
of  Nooatoks  began  pressing  to  the  southward  and  westward,  and  it  was 
not  long  before  they  were  masters  of  the  Tigara  country  westward  to 
the  Kevalinye  (Corwin  Lagoon)  between  Cape  Seppings  and  Cape 
Krusenstern.  One  summer,  about  the  year  1800,  a  great  land  and  boat 
fight  took  place  between  the  Tigaras  and  the  Nooatoks  just  below 
Cape  Seppings,  in  which  the  Tigaras  were  overthrown  and  compelled 
to  withdraw  from  all  that  part  of  the  country. 

They  were  left  in  possession  of  the  Kookp.  k  River,  where  reindeer 
pass  on  occasional  years.  So  badly  crushed  were  the  Tigaras  that  they 
lost  half  of  their  population,  which  gradually  led  to  the  abandonment 
of  all  their  outstanding  villages,  the  people  taking  refnge  at  the  capi- 
tal place  of  Tigara  (Point  Hope).  The  sudden  taking  off  of  the  lead- 
ing men,  the  great  whalemen  and  skillful  hunters,  left  the  tribe  badly 
demoralized  and  comparatively  helpless. 

Before  an  equilibrium  was  estaVlisbed  half  of  the  remaining  popu- 
lation died  of  famine.  Since  then  the  population  of  the  tribe  has 
steadily  declined. 

They  have  often  attacked  parties  of  whalemen  who  have  been  on 
shore  after  casks  of  water  or  driftwood  for  fuel.  Four  instances  are 
mentioned :  once  when  the  natives  were  driven  off  with  clubs ;  another 
time  when  they  surrounded  a  boat's  crew,  pricked  the  men's  throats 
with  knives,  stole  their  tobacco,  and  cut  the  buttons  from  their  clothes ; 
again,  when  they  pursued  the  departing  boats,  caught  hold  of  their 
painters,  and  tried  to  pull  the  boats  ashore,  which  was  frustrated  by 
cutting  the  painter.  Upon  the  last  occasion,  when  they  attacked  a  boat 
in  force,  the  oflQcer  in  charge  stood  them  off  with  a  whaleman's  cutting- 
spade,  inflicting  many  wounds,  but  it  is  not  known  whether  any  were 
killed. 

In  the  summer  of  1887  a  whaling  station  was  established  at  Point 
Hope  by  a  San  Francisco  firm.  The  natives,  under  the  leadership  of 
Owtonowrok,  the  Tigara  chieftain,  kept  the  station  in  a  constant  state 
of  alarm  by  menaces  and  threats  for  more  than  a  year.  In  June,  1889, 
the  natives  made  friendly  overture?  of  peace.

Owtonowrok  aspired  to  be  a  chief  like  Kohorra,  of  the  Oomoojeks  on 
Gape  Tchaplin,  Asia,  of  whom  he  had  heard.  In  his  efforts  to  become 
absolute  master  of  his  people  he  passed  from  l^ranny  to  assassination. 
For  trivial  causes,  such  as  losing  something  or  failing  to  be  prompt  in 
paying  tribute,  he  would  sally  forth  on  a  shotgun  expedition,  and  either 
hold  the  victim  while  one  of  his  followers  did  the  shooting,  or  shoot 
while  some  one  else  held  the  man ;  but  usually  he  did  the  holding  him- 
self, as  he  was  the  most  powerful  man  of  his  tribe.  He  became  the  head 
chief  through  defeating  the  old  chief  in  a  rough-and-tumble  fight. 
.  February  14,  1889,  he  was  shot  dead  by  two  brothers,  whom  he  had 
exiled,  and  who  had  returned  for  the  purpose  of  killing  him.  During 
his  life  he  killed  five  men  and  one  woman.  Lie  inspired  such  terror 
that  every  year  people  left  for  distant  hunting-grounds,  till  it  seemed 
that  a  few  more  years  of  his  reign  would  have  seen  Tigara  depopu- 
lated. '  • 

Women  take  an  active  part  in  battle  or  assassinations  by  holding  on 
to  an  enemy  or  otherwise  impeding  his  movements.  In  executing  an 
offensive  movement  the  women  have  been  noticed  to  get  in  the  rear  of 
an  enemy  to  obstruct  his  retreat. 

The  Tigaras  exchange  arms  and  ammunition,  obtained  from  whale- 
shipa,  with  the  Nooatoks  and  Kevalinyes  for  furs.  Whale-oil  and  seal- 
skins are  bartered  for  deer-skins  and  children.  A  child  costs  originally 
about  one  seal-skin  bag  of  oil,  or  a  suit  of  old  clothes.  If  not  resold 
they  are  brought  up  in  the  family  purchasing  them  to  do  menial  work 
as  soon  as  able.  As  they  grow  up  they  are  made  to  believe  that  their 
parents  were  bad  people  and  that  they  would  have  died  if  they  had 
not  been  taken  in  by  their  present  owners.  When  grown  they  are 
free.  Not  knowing  any  other  dialect  or  having  any  other  home,  they 
stay  where  they  are  and  become  recognized  Tigaras.  Owtonowrok,  the 
chief,  had  a  Nooatok  boy,  whose  fidelity  he  afterwards  rewarded  by 
creating  him  chief,  next  in  power  to  himself. 

KINEGAN  MUTES. 

The  nineteenth  century  has  witnessed  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  Kine- 
gans  of  Cape  Prince  of  Wales.  A  band  of  hypocrites  and  shylocks, 
possessing  a  large  share  of  brazen  effronterj-,  led  on  by  what  they  be- 
lieved to  be  invincible  unutkoots  (seers),  they  overran  the  country  to 
the  southward  and  eastward  as  far  as  the  Selawik  River.  Taking  the 
highlands  for  bearings,  they  sailed  boldly  across  Kotzebue  Sound  from 
Cape  Spanberg  to  Hotham  Inlet  and  Cape  Krusenstern,  where  they 
founded  colonies,  hunted  reindeer,  and  plundered  and  scattered  the 
habitations  of  other  tribes. 

They  have  a  traditional  story  of  having  defeated  and  driven  the  Rus- 
sians out  of  Kotzebue  Sound.  It  is  probable  that  they  have  reference  to 
Beechy's  English  expedition,  as  there  is  a  record  that  a  surveying  party

of  that  expedition  was  attacked  and  lost  in  an  encounter  witli  tbo 
natives  in  1827. 

In  1868  a  whale-boat'ffcrew  from  a  wrecked  vessel  was  making  its  way 
southward  to  civilized  settlements,  when  it  fe 1 1  in  with  a  band  of  Cape 
Prince  of  Wales  natives  on  the  north  side  of  Kotzebue  Sound.  Some  of 
the  natives  held  knives  to  the  men's  throats,  while  others  robbed  and 
stripped  them  of  everything  they  had,  even  to  their  clothing.  After 
suffering  many  hardships  the  whalers  reached  Point  Hope,  where  they 
were  finally  rescued. 

Every  December  moon  160  or  200  Cape  Prince  of  Wales  natives 
would  go  over  to  Kavea,  before  they  impoverished  it,  on  a  tax-collect. 
ing  expedition.  Upon  their  arrival  the  whole  population  would  be 
drawn  up  in  line  just  outside  the  village,  when  the  old  men  would 
beat  drums,  while  two  elegantly  dressed  women,  springing  into  the  open 
place  between  the  two  tribes,  danced  in  their  most  graceful  style. 
While  the  women  were  dancing  two  young  men  would  dash  into  the 
arena  armed  with  bows  and  arrows,  dance  stiff-legged,  draw  their  bows, 
aim  east,  west,  north,  and  south.  The  whole  ceremony  being  one  of 
submission  and  a  declaration  that  they  stood  ready  to  defend  themselves 
and  visitors  from  enemies  from  all  directions.  The  performance  being 
over,  huts  and  council  houses  were  thrown  open,  and  dancing,  games, 
and  theatricals  were  indulged  in  till  the  food  became  scarce,  when  the 
visitors  departed. 

Beginning  about  the  year  1860,  vessels  have  been  fitted  out  at  Hono- 
lulu and  San  Francisco  for  the  purpose  of  trading  in  Arctic  waters. 
These  are  careful  not  to  be  surprised  or  captured  by  the  natives  of  Cape 
Prince  of  Wales.  - 

Soon  after  the  acquisition  of  Alaska  by  the  United  States  (18C7)  these 
people  captured  and  plundered  a  San  Francisco  trading  vessel.  En- 
couraged by  this  success,  and  having  as  their  leader  an  unutkoot, 
whom  the  natives  considered  invulnerable,  they  seized  and  boarded  a 
Hawaiian  brig,  commanded  by  George  Gilly,  a  Bouiu  Islander.  The 
natives  drove  the  crew  below,  killing  one  man.  The  chief  caught  Gilly 
by  the  throat  and  began  pressing  him  back,  when  Gilly  drew  a  revolver, 
but  was  only  jeered  at  by  the  chief;  striking  the  chief  over  the  head 
with  it  and  loosening  his  hold  he  shot  him  dead.  In  the  meantime  the 
mate  had  come  on  deck  with  a  rifle,  but  was  seized  by  the  second  chief, 
and  in  the  struggle  for  the  gun  both  fell  to  the  deck.  Watching  his 
opportunity  the  helmsman  brained  the  native  with  a  spare  tiller.  Gilly 
and  the  mate  then  took  up  positions  at  the  ports  in  the  forward  part  of 
the  poop  and  opened  fire  on  the  natives,  who  swarmed  on  deck.  Be- 
coming panic-stricken,  they  fled  into  the  rigging,  and  many  sprang  over 
the  sides  of  the  vessel,  capsizing  their  canoes,  and  were  drowned.  Those 
that  were  left  sought  refuge  under  the  top-gallant  forecastle.  When 
drawn  out  of  their  hiding  places  with  long  boat-hooks,  they  ran  with 
drawn  knives  upon  the  crew  and  tbught  until  knocked  dead  with  cap-

Htiin  bars.  Fifteen  natives  lay  dead  on  deck.  The  number  drowned  ia 
not  known.    This  incident  broke  the  power  of  the  Kiuegaus. 

The  unutkoots,  who  claimed  to  be  invulnerable,  were  found  to  be 
but  ordinary  men.  The  conquered  tribes,  denouncing  them  as  "  liars,'' 
"  frauds,**  and  "ashooruk  oklah"  (very  bad),  asserted  their  independ* 
ence.  Shotgun  parties  for  the  purpose  of  collecting  tribute  became 
obsolete. 

The  Kinegan  colonists  north  of  Kotzebue  Sound  and  elsewhere,  find- 
ing their  locations  too  dangerous,  returned  to  their  own  region.  The 
Kinegans  still  hold  the  little  Diomede,  and  the  coast-line  between  Cape 
Prince  of  Wales  and  Capo  Spanberg,  but  the  population  has  steadily 
declined,  and  within  the  last  three  years  families  have  begun  to  migrate 
northward,  and  now  they  are  to  be  found  scattered  along  the  coast  as 
far  north  as  Point  Belcher. 

COLONIES  OF   OUTLAWS.  ^ 

On  the  south  side  of  the  headland  just  below  St.  Lawrence  Bay,  on 
the  Siberian  coast,  is  a  colony  ot  murderers  gathered  from  different  set- 
tlements on  the  Asiatic  shores  of  the  Behriug  Sea,  where  they  dwell 
unmolested  by  surrounding  tribes. 

In  Eskimo  Alaska  there  is  not  only  a  settlement,  but  a  considerable 
tribe  of  Arctic  Ishmaelites  who  are  called  Kevalinyes,  whose  home  lies 
between  the  Tigaras  aud  the  Nooatoks.  They  claim  allegiance  to  the 
Nooatoks  and  ought  to  be  classed  under  that  head,  but  are  spoken  of 
here  under  a  separate  heading  on  account  of  their  peculiarities.  The 
larger  number  of  these  people  are  of  Nooatok  origin,  re-enforced  by 
desperadoes  from  Cape  Prince  of  Wales,  Kavea,  and  Point  Hope. 

They  have  been  continually  encroaching  on  the  hunting-grounds  of 
the  Tigaras,  who  have  repeatedly  sent  them  word  to  pack  up  and  move 
or  be  cleaned  out.    To  these  threats  no  attention  has  been  paid. 

Within  the  last  three  years  they  have  even  extended  their  ground  to 
the  shores  of  the  Arctic,  appropriating  the  northern  portion  of  the  Tigara 
hunting-ground,  which  lies  south  of  the  Kookpovoros  at  Point  Lay.  The 
Eskimos  are  given  to  boasting  of  their  intentions.  In  most  instances 
offensive  movements  are  thus  anticipated.  Whenever  the  Tigaras  have 
started  out  on  a  shot-gun  adjustment  expedition,  the  Kevalinyes  have 
had  time  to  call  in  a  suflBcent  number  of  their  people  to  prevent  an  at- 
tack. During  the  winter  of  1889,  the  Kevalinyes  advanced  to  the  west- 
ward of  Cape  Seppings  and  killed  a  prominent  Tigara  native.  As  soon 
as  the  news  reached  Point  Hope  an  armed  party  started  out  to  avenge 
the  murder,  but  did  not  dare  advance  beyond  Cape  Thompson.  At  no 
l>lace  are  hostilities  continuous.  There  are  always  seasons  of  civility, 
when  they  visit  each  other  for  the  purpose  of  trade. 

TRIBES  DYING  OUT. 

The  other  coast  tribes  between  Point  Hope  and  Point  Barrow  have 
been  cut  down  in  population,  so  as  to  be  almost  obliterated.    The  KooK-

povoros  of  Point  Lay  have  only  three  huts  left;  OotookuHof  ley  Oupe 
one  hut;  Kooginiite  has  three  Hettlements  of  fruui  one  to  four  families; 
8ezaro  has  about  eighty  people. 

POINT  BAEROW. 

Ootkeavie,  at  Cape  Smyth,  8  miles  from  Point  Barrow,  haR  a  popu- 
lation of  about  360,  au<l  in  the  largest  permanent  Nctt  lenient  in  Eskimo 
Alaska.  Its  people  are  drawn  from  all  portions  of  the  territory  north 
of  Behring  Strait,  being  attracted  there  by  the  favorable  situation  of 
the  place  for  catching  whales  and  killing  deer. 

Noowoo  (Nuwiik),  on  the  extreme  end  of  Point  Burrow,  has  a  popula- 
tion of  less  than  100.  Its  people  are  native  to  the  soil,  and  are  un- 
doubtedly the  only  true  relics  of  the  old  stock  of  Eskimos  within  the 
bounds  of  Alaska. 

THE  NOOATOKS. 

The  Nooatoks,  originally  called  Napakato  Mutes  (timber  peo[)le),  be- 
gan their  tribal  existence  iii  the  timbered  country  at  the  lieadwaters  of 
the  Nooatok  Kiver.  Like  the  herds  of  Genghis  Khan  they  have  moved 
east  and  west,  occupying  as  much  of  the  territory  as  suits  their  pur- 
pose. .  '      "  *'       <  ■        ...  • 

The  golden  age  of  the  Eskimos,  as  a  whole,  was  probably  two  hundred 
or  more  years  ago,  before  they  felt  the  pressure  of  southern  savages. 
Of  individual  tribes  theTigaras  were  at  the  height  of  their  power  about 
1775,  the  Kaveas  about  1800,  Kiiiegans  1800,  Ootkeavies  about  1870. 

The  Nooatoks  just  now  are  in  the  ascendant  and  promise  to  overrun 
the  whole  country.  Around  Point  Barrow  they  have  obtained  a  foot- 
ing ;  at  Point  Hope  they  are  gradually  accomplishing  the  same  end  by 
selling  children  to  the  Tigaras. 

They  are  also  gradually  working  in  their  dialect  among  the  old  Eskimo 
stock. 

The  principal  dialects  of  Arctic  Alaska  are :  • 

Old  Eskimo: 

(1)  Oomojck,  Cape  Tchaplin  and  St.  Lawrence  iHland.

The  language  is  difficult  to  understand  on  account  of  there  being  so 
many  synonymous  terms.  As  many  as  six  difl'erent  names  have  been 
found  for  the  same  thing  in  a  single  tribe.  What  may  be  the  traditional 
name  of  an  object  in  one  locality  may  be  the  commou  appellation  iu 
another. 

PERSONAL  ArPKARAN(3E. 

There  are  three  types  observable  among  the  Arctic  Eskimos  of  Alaska. 
The  tall,  cadaverous  natives  of  Kangoot,  iSeelawik,  Koovuk,  and  Kik- 
iktowruk,  on  Kotzebue  Sound,  who  live  on  tisli,  ptannigans,  and  mar- 
mots. They  always  have  a  hungry  look,  and  habitually  wear  a  grin  of 
fiendish  glee  at  having  circumvented  an  adverse  fate.  There  is  a  tend- 
ency among  these  jieople  to  migrate  north. 

Then  there  is  the  tall,  strongly  knit  type  of  the  Nooatoks,  a  gigantic 
race,  of  a  splendid  physique  that  would  be  remarkable  in  any  part  of 
the  world 

Kugged  as  the  mountains  among  which  they  live,  vigorous  and  cour- 
ageous, they  stop  at  nothing  but  the  impossible  to  accomplish  a  desired 
end.  Their  food  supply  is  the  reindeer,  mountain  sheei),  ptarmigans,  and 
fish.  There  are  many  of  the  coast  natives  of  this  type,  but  they  lack 
the  healthy  glow  and  the  indomitable  will  of  the  Nooatoks. 

The  third  type  is  the  short,  stumpy  one,  probably  that  of  the  old 
Eskimo  before  the  admixture  with  soutiieru  tribes,  now  found  on  the 
Arctic  coast.    Whale,  seal,  and  deer  meat  are  their  food  stai)les. 

The  Eskimos  have  coarse,  bliick  hair,  some  with  a  tinge  of  brown. 
Many  of  the  coast  i)eople  of  both  sexes  are  bald  from  scrofulous  erup- 
tions. Males  have  the  crown  of  the  head  closelj'  cropped,  so  that  rein- 
deer may  not  see  the  waving  locks  wlieu  the  hunter  creej)s  behind 
bunch  grass.  They  have  black  eyes  and  high  cheek  bones.  The  bones 
of  the  face  are  better  protected  from  the  severity  of  the  climate  by  a 
thicker  covering  of  flesh  than  southern  races. 

Among  the  coast  people  the  nose  is  broad  and  flat,  with  very  little 
or  no  ridge  between  the  eyes.  The  adult  males  have  short  mustaches, 
and  some  of  the  elder  ones  (more  noticeable  in  the  interior)  have  rough, 
scraggy  beards.  Generally  their  beard  is  very  scant,  and  most  of  them 
devote  otherwise  idle  hours  to  pulling  out  "the  hairs.  All  have  good 
teeth,  but  they  are  subjected  to  severe  usage,  being  used  for  pinchers, 
vises,  and  fluting-machines.  The  teeth  arc  employed  in  drawing  bolts, 
untying  knots,  holding  the  mouth-piece  of  a  drill,  shaping  boot-soles, 
stretching  and  tanning  skins.  When  they  become  uneven  from  hard 
usage  they  are  leveled  oft'  with  a  file  or  whetstone.  A  woman  at  the 
age  of  forty  who  has  done  her  share  of  the  house-work  generally  has 
her  front  teeth  worn  down  so  low  that  they  are  useless  for  mechanical 
purposes. 

ORNAMENTATION. 

At  any  time  from  sixteen  to  twenty-two  years  of  age  the  male  natives 
have  their  lower  lips  pierced  under  each  corner  of  the  mouth  for  labrets.

When  the  incision  is  first  made,  sharp-pointed  pieces  of  ivory  are  put  in. 
After  the  wound  heals  the  hole  is  gradually  stretched  to  half  an  inch 
in  diameter.  Some  of  the  poorer  natives  wear  labrets  made  from  can- 
nel  coaly  ivory,  common  gravel,  and  glass  stoppers  obtained  from  ships, 
which  they  shape  for  the  purpose.  All  who  can  obtain  them  have  agate 
ones.  One  labretis  nearly  always  plain,  and  shaped  like  aplug  hat,  with 
the  rim  inside  the  mouth  to  hold  it  in;  the  other  has  a  white  washer 
an  inch  and  a  half  in  diameter  just  outside  the  lip,  held  in  place  by  a 
nut  of  turquoise  fastened  to  the  end  of  the  labret  by  petroleum  pitch 
from  Icy  Eeef  or  spruce  gum  from  the  Nooatok.  It  is  not  known 
where  they  have  obtained  the  turquoise  or  the  porcelain -like  washer. 
The  natives  say  they  have  always  been  in  the  country,  and  have  been 
handed  down  by  successive  generations.  Some  of  the  old  men  who 
have  made  a  good  record  as  whalemen  tattoo  their  cheeks ;  some  of  the 
designs  are  triangular,  an  inch  long,  with  one  point  intersecting  the  cor- 
ner of  the  mouth.  Another  kind  is  a  rectangular  bar  an  inch  and  a 
half  long,  extending  from  the  corners  of  the  mouth  toward  the  ears. 

Some  of  the  girb  have  their  ears  pierced  just  back  of  the  lobe,  where 
it  is  thinnest.  They  wear  ivory  ear-rings,  some  of  which  are  carved 
with  plain  iagures,  while  others  have  a  setting  of  turquoise.  Some  of 
them  have  a  string  of  beads  extending  from  one  ear-ring  to  the  other, 
suspended  under  the  throat.  There  are  rare  instances  where  the  Cape 
Prince  of  Wales  girls  wear  turquoise  beads  suspended  to  the  cartilage 
of  the  nose  between  the  nostrils.  Tattooing  the  chin  among  the  women  ^ 
is  general,  and  it  is  kept  up,  so  they  say,  because  it  has  always  been ' 
the  custom.  At  the  age  of  six  one  narrow  perpendicular  line  is  drawn 
down  the  centre  of  the  chin,  powdered  charcoal  being  used  in  coloring. 
At  about  twelve  years  of  age  the  line  is  broadened  to  a  half  of  an  inch, 
and  a  narrow  line  drawn  parallel  to  it  on  each  side.  Sometimes  the 
tattooing  is  delayed  till  the  child  has  grown  up  and  has  the  work  done 
to  suit  herself,  either  with  the  narrow  line,  the  broad  line,  or  three  lines. 
Some  of  the  Kangoot  women  on  the  south  side  of  Kotzebue  Sound  have 
been  noticed  with  two  narrow  lines  on  each  side  of  the  broad  one,  and 
there  are  rare  instances  where  the  tattooing  has  been  delayed  till  the 
birth  of  the  first  child  or  -even  longer.  The  women  all  have  remem- 
brance blotches  tattooed  on  their  wrists  or  back  of  the  hands.  The 
women  wear  their  hair  in  braids,  except  when  it  is  tied  in  two  loose 
locks  just  below  the  ears.  Mackenzie  Eiver  women  wear  the  hair  in  two 
rolls  forward  of  the  ears,  hanging  down,  and  a  small  pig-tail  behind. 

DRESS.  "''^  '    ''""     '     '    "    '  ^  "  :'  ^^'\ 

Clothing  for  men  consists  of  knee-breeches,  belted  at  the  loins,  a  loose-

turned  out.  In  summer  water-proof  tanned  seal-skin  boots  are  substi- 
tuted for  reindeer  ones.  Gloves  are  made  of  reindeer-skin  with  the  hair 
turned  in.  Each  tribe  has  some  peculiarity  of  dress.  Those  south  of 
Port  Clarence  (Cape  Douglas)  and  those  north  of  Point  Hope  wear 
shoulder-straps  of  different-colored  furs  trimmed  with  wolverine.  Point 
Hope  natives  put  little  white  tanned  seal-skin  tassels  around  the  top  of 
their  summer  boots,  and  others  do  not.  The  old  Eskimos  at  Point  Hope 
and  Point  Barrow  fashion  their  boot-soles  high,  and  cut  out  the  upper 
in  one  piece,  and  sew  their  water-proof  boots  and  mittens  without  a 
welt,  while  the  Kavea  and  Diomedes  make  the  sides  Of  their  boot- 
soles  low,  have  the  upper  in  two  pieces,  and  sew  with  a  welt.  Old  peo- 
ple often  have  portions  of  their  clothes  made  of  duck-skins,  which  are 
said  to  be  tough  and  warm.  All  of  them  like  to  have  civilized  clothing 
for  summer  or  indoor  wear,  which  can  be  washed,  so  as  to  keep  down 
vermin.  The  difference  between  the  dress  of  men  and  women  is  that 
the  latter  have  their  boots,  stockings,  and  pantaloons  all  in  one  garment. 
The  cloaks  of  all  females  have  at  the  back  of  the  neck  a  fullness,  for  car- 
rying infants.  These  cloaks  come  down  below  the  knees  and  are  gored 
out  at  the  sides  up  to  the  hips,  making  the  front  look  like  an  apron. 

The  chief  employment  of  the  women  in  winter  is  dressing  skins  and 
making  clothes. 

When  the  snow  begins  to  melt  in  the  spring,  they  cease  manufactur- 
iug,  and  only  repair  or  fit  a  garment  when  absolutely  necessary. 

CHABAOTEB. 

They  are  intelligent  beyond  what  might  be  expected  of  them,  and 
have  good  natural  abilities.  They  are  quick  in  providing  ways  and 
means  in  cases  of  emergency.  They  are  also  anxious  to  adopt  the 
methods  of  white  people  when  they  can  do  so  to  advantage  to  them- 
selves. Some  of  them  carve  with  a  knife  on  pipe-stems,  or  drill  bows 
made  of  mastadon  or  walrus  ivory,  pictures  illustrating  events  in  the 
life  of  the  artist,  tribal  history,  or  festal  occasions.  There  are  instances 
where  they  have  communicated  with  each  other  by  means  of  pictures 
carved  on  wood  or  ivory.  In  their  drawings  they  have  no  idea  of  the 
perspective,  and  instead  of  drawing  fro Ji  nature  they  are  more  apt  to 
incline  to  the  grotesque  and  hideous,  just  as  the  fancy  may  seize  them. 
Our  pictures  are  unintelligible  to  them,  unless  they  are  distinctly  lu- 
dicrous. 

They  know  no  other  motive  than  that  of  selfishness.  Anything  they 
part  with  is  with  the  expectation  of  a  double  remuneration  in  the  near 
future.  .  Any  promise  of  reward  next  year  they  deem  idle  talk  and  are 
unwilling  to  understand  it.  Everything  is  right  if  it  coincides  with 
<:l>eir  wishes,  and  everything  wrong  if  it  is  contrary.  Any  man  may 
have  their  friendship  if  he  can  pay  for  it ;  otherwise  he  must  tai^e  the 
consequences,  good  or  bad.  The  Eskimos  have  been  proverbially  honest 
and  truthful  in  their  dealings.  Aside  from  forcible  appropriations  they

rarely  steal  anything,  unless  it  is  some  small  trinket  of  very  little  value. 
Any  little  article  stolen  may  be  easily  traced,  as  it  is  not  in  their  nature  to 
conceal  a  theft  or  keep  a  secret.  Up  to  this  time  there  has  been  no  white 
man  among  them  who  can  equal  them  in  hunting,  fishing,  sealing,  and 
shore-whaling.  Judging  from  their  stand-point  they  say  the  white  man 
is  "  ilualok"  (unfit  for  anything),  nor  have  they  any  respect  or  venera- 
tion for  anything  pertaining  to  the  whites.  ^    ,,         ic        ,  ;  ;^ 

CUSTOMS. 

The  Eskimos  on  going  to  bed  strip  off  all  their  clothing  and  huddle 
together  under  reindeer- robes.  The  males  scarcely  ever  wash  their 
face  and  hands,  and  their  bodies  never.  All  births  and  deaths  take 
place  in  out-houses. 

Women  carry  their  young  astride  their  backs.  The  child  is  held  in 
place  by  a  strap  passing  under  its  thighs  and  around  over  the  mother's 
breasts. 

Children  are  given  from  two  to  six  names,  but  none  of  them  are  those 
borne  by  the  father  or  mother,  but  are  those  of  ancestors  or  respected 
relatives.  The  literal  meaning  of  the  names  are  stone,  foxes  of  different 
kinds,  seals  of  all  varieties  and  sizes,  birds,  animals,  parts  of  animals, 
of  birds,  of  fishes,  or  of  the  body,  sections  of  the  country,  winds,  tides, 
motion,  fast  or  slow,  decorative  articles,  and  names  compounded  in 
an  expressive  way,  as  Amok  Tigara,  the  she- wolf  of  the  Tigaras. 

Idiots  and  partially  demented  persons  are  permitted  to  live,  contrary 
to  what  might  be  expected  of  these  people ;  but  the  unfortunate 
wretches  are  only  fed  on  refuse  food,  and  if  clothed  at  all  are  only 
given  old  worn-out  garments.  Fortunately  only  an  occasional  idiot  is 
to  be  found. 

COURTSHIP   AND  MARRIAGE. 

Girls  after  they  have  reached  puberty,  at  about  thirteen  years  of  age, 
have  no  one  to  protect  them.  Neither  father,  mother,  or  brother  will 
raise  a  hand  to  ward  off  a  ruffian  who  would  outrage  them.  Eskimo  girls 
are  naturally  modest,  shy,  and  of  a  retiring  disposition,  and  it  is  a 
severe  shock  to  them  to  be  pounced  upon  as  a  hawk  would  grab  a  dove. 
They  often  fight  furiously  until  their  clothes  are  cut  or  torn  from  them 
and  they  are  beaten  insensible.  After  a  while  they  will  not  re  'it  so 
heroically.  Though  tears  fall  like  rain,  the  male  Eskimo,  youth  or 
middle-aged,  never  relents.  When  a  girl  has  finally  taken  a  husband 
she  is  not  often  molested.  An  Eskimo  begins  his  courtship  by  making 
the  girl  presents  of  food  delicacies,  such  as  deer  breast,  tongues,  and 
seal  liver.  Then  he  has  as  fine  a  cloak  made  as  his  resources  will  per- 
mit, which  is  intended  for  the  girl.  Should  she  accept  and  put  it  on,  he 
has  won  ;  but  she  often  hesitates,  sometimes  rejecting  all  atlvances  or 
preferring  some  one  else.  Should  the  latter  be  the  case  the  man  begins 
a  cruel  siege.    She  is  waylaid  and  harassed  upon  every  occasion.    The

persecution  is  kept  up  for  days  and  months  before  the  man  giv  es  up, 
leaving  the  field  for  the  next  comer.  When  a  couple  does  mate,  the  re- 
lation is  scarcely  ever  permanent.  Before  they  become  settled  they 
may  have  had  a  dozen  or  more  matrimonial  ventures.  Women  are  in- 
clined to  be  true  to  their  husbands,  and  probably  would  be  if  the  men 
did  not  insist  on  exchanging  wives  for  a  season,  or  prostituting  them 
for  a  revenue  to  whalemen. 

Women  are  kept  in  the  huts  a  month  after  confinement,  and  are  not 
allowed  to  enter  any  other  house  than  their  own  till  the  season,  summer 
or  winter,  is  over.  Maternal  cares  and  drudgery  make  their  lives  such 
a  burden  that  they  often  destroy  their  unborn  offspring.  Some  of 
them  do  this  secretly,  and  if  it  is  found  out  by  their  husbands  they  are 
beaten  till  insensible,  then  thrown  out  of  the  house.  Women  who  have 
been  badly  treated  have  hanged  themselves.  This  last  winter  (1889) 
a  Point  Hope  man,  jealous  of  his  wife,  whom  he  had  taken  from  the 
Nooatoks  the  summer  before,  hammered  and  cut  her  up  with  a  knife. 
Despairing  of  life  or  liberty,  in  the  night,  during  a  raging  blizzard,  she 
fixed  a  noose  around  her  neck,  hitched  some  dogs  to  the  hauling-cart, 
8.tarted  them  up,  and  was  dragged  to  death. 

Here  are  some  of  their  love  songs,  in  which  I  have  preserved  the 
meaning: 

OKANITOO  (LITTLK  WOMAN). 

Oh!  Okanitoo!  ThisI'Udo 
To  -wia  your  noble  heart ; 
In  command  of  a  magic  wand 
I'll  cleave  the  mountains  apart. 

There,  below  the  sarface  of  Snow,* 
By  the  eternal  hunting-ground, 
A  hut  I'll  build  of  rarest  guild. 
Where  love  may  ever  abound. 

On  wings  I'll  rise  to  the  leaden  skies 
And  drag  the  Aurora  down, 
Its  trembling  bars  with  glistening  stars, 
To  make  thee  a  wedding  gown. 

The  rainbow,  too,  of  varied  hue, 
For  a  bonny  belt  I'll  bring. 
The  new  moon  trap,  the  ends  I'll  lap, 
And  weld  thee  a  finger  ring. 

I'll  hunt  the  hare,  I'll  fight  the  bear, 
And  banish  the  wolves  for  good ; 
Whales  and  deer,  and  seals  I'll  spear, 
We'll  never  want  for  food. 

When  this  is  done,  I'll  moor  the  sun,  v 

And  turn  the  blizzard  away ; 
The  winter's  blast  forever  past, 
We'll  live  in  endless  day. 


The  Eskimos'  happy  hunting-ground  is  below  the  ground,  oat  of  the  oold.

,     .  ,  POLYGAMY. 

Polygamy  is  hereditary.  If  a  father  has  a  plurality  of  wives  the  sons 
also  have  au  equal  number,  without  regard  to  wealth  or  ability  to  sup- 
port them.  Many  natives  have  two  wives ;  there  are  rare  instances  of 
a  man  having  three  wives,  and  Owtouowrok  of  Tigara  had  five  wives  at 
the  time  of  his  death.  He  had  previously  killed  one,  and  scarcely  a 
day  passed  that  he  did  not  club  or  carve  one  or  more  of  them.  At  his 
death  the  fi»'st  wife  took  possession  4)f  all  the  property,  to  be  held  in 
trust  for  her  eldest  boy,  twelve  years  of  age,  to  the  exclusion  of  all  the 
other  children  or  relations. 

DISEASES. 

The  natural  bodily  ailments  of  the  Eskimos  are  scrofula,  diphtheria, 
bronchial,  and  pulmonary  diseases.  Many  men  are  affected  with  sore 
eyes  and  partial  blindness,  brought  on  by  the  excessive  refraction  of  the 
sun's  rays  on  the  white  surface  of  snow  during  the  months  of  April, 
May,  and  June.  Left  to  themselves  the  Eskimos  would  have  continued 
to  battle  successfully  against  these  disorders ;  but  the  whifce  people  in- 
troduced syphilis  among  them.  This  has  been  a  blight  that  has  almost 
swept  some  of  the  coast  tribes  out  of  existence,  and  bids  fair  to  depopu- 
late the  whole  Eskimo  country.  The  Nooatoks,  being  au  inland  tribe, 
have  been  comparatively  free  from  it  until  latelj'^,  but  the  blight  has 
now  begun  to  affect  them  also.  They  might  have  had  immunity  much 
longer  had  they  not  forced  their  way  to  the  sea-coast,  where  they  could 
have  communication  with  the  whale-ships.  They  now  come  in  boats  to 
Point  Hope,  cross  the  mountains  to  Point  Lay  and  vicinity,  and  go  in 
large  numbers  every  summer  to  Point  Barrow. 

According  to  an  Eskimo's  idea  there  is  no  wrong  iu  adultery,  espe- 
cially among  themselves,  and  it  is  correct  with  whalemen  if  there  is  a 
consideration  ;  consequently,  it  does  not  take  much  time  to  scatter  the 
germs  of  disease  among  a  whole  people. 

The  Diomede  natives  are  not  given  to  promiscuous  intercourse  with 
whalemen.  The  Oomoojeks,  of  Cape  Tchaplin,  Siberia,  called  a  halt 
some  years  ago  before  it  was  too  late. 

The  Kinegans,  of  Cape  Prince  of  Wales,  and  the  Kotzebue  Sound  tribes 
are  not  badly  corrupted  yet ;  but  on  the  north  coast  there  is  the  grossest 
abandon.  The  moral  status  of  the  Eskimos  is  very  low,  not  above  that 
of  the  brutes.  The  only  thing  they  have  been  known  to  decry  has  been 
that  of  mating  with  blood  relations.    There  are  instances,  however,  of

brother  ami  sister,  parent  and  child,  while  that  of  uncle  and  niece  is 
quite  common. 

All  their  songs,  stories,  and  traditions  are  of  a  ribald  nature.  In  fact, 
obscenity  is  flagrant  everywhere.  The  knowledge  they  have  gleaned 
from  white  people  has  been  from  a  commercial  stand-point.  Moral 
ideas  have  not  yet  reached  them.  Satisfaction  of  personal  desires  with- 
out regard  to  consequences  has  hardened  them  in  their  waysof  iniquity. 

People  when  stricken  with  what  is  thought  to  be  a  fatal  illness  are 
carried  out  to  the  out-house,  where,  if  they  do  not  die  according  to  their 
expectations,  they  request  some  one  to  kill  them,  and  their  wish  is  com- 
plied with  by  an  unutkoot  (seer),  who  stabs  them  with  a  knife  either 
in  the  breast  or  temple ;  the  knife  is  then  buried  by  the  unutkoot. 
Pieces  of  graphite  or  other  black  stones  are  placed  on  the  eyes  of  the 
deceased,  the  body  is  wrapped  up  in  reindeer- skins,  and  carried  out  for 
immediate  burial,  the  head  always' being  placed  to  the  eastward.  The 
body  later  on  is  usually  placed  in  a  crude  box,  and  is  generally  left  on 
the  ground,  though  it  is  sometimes  placed  on  stilts  or  a  frame.  Four  days 
after  a  death  the  family  remain  in  mournful  idleness,  and  are  not  allowed 
to  enter  another  house  until  the  expiration  of  one  moon.  Just  after  a 
burial  the  natives  walk  around  the.  body,  then  form  a  ring  and  drop 
stones  down  through  their  cloaks,  after  which  they  file  away  homewards. 
Just  before  the  whaling  season  the  Point  Hope  women  are  made  to 
carry  a  piece  of  whale  blubber  out  to  the  cemetery  and  place  it  on  the 
grave  of  a  deceased  whaling  relative.  That  the  w  oman  may  not  neglect 
the  duty  through  timidity,  a  man  goes  along  after  her  carrying  a  club. 
Men  not  having  a  wife,  sister,  or  mother,  or  other  woman  dependent 
upon  them  carry  the  meat  themselves.  The  bodies  of  people  who  die 
during  the  whaling  season  are  cut  open,  and  any  pieces  of  whale  blubber 
found  in  the  stomach  are  thrown  into  the  sea. 

SHAMANS. 

Unutkoots  are  the  seers  or  medicine  men,  and  are  divided  into  seven 
degrees.  The  vocation  is  hereditary,  as  far  as  a  son  or  a  daughter  may 
mentally  or  physically  be  able  to  acquire  the  knowledge.  They  are 
graded  a^'cciding  to  their  knowledge  of  spiritualism,  ventriloquism, 
feats  ot  '  '^:crdemain,  and  general  chicanery. 

t-  >  II ;.  coo^  of  the  seventh  degree  claims  to  be  immortal;  that  his 
T«';  M  *r(d  aowled^re  extend  beyond  that  of  the  world,  to  that  of  <  ,e 
spi  :.  lie;  tlv't  he  can  not  be  killed  or  even  wounded.  Those  of  this 
grade  are  oiteu  iieard  of  but  never  met  with.  Sixth  grade  unutkoots  may 
be  wounded  but  not  killed.  Those  of  lesser  grades  are  less  pretentious ; 
they  go  into  trances,  during  which  the  spirit  leaves  the  body,  roams 
about  the  other  world,  communicating  or  treating  with  other  spirits. 

Sickness  is  supposed  to  be  manifestations  of  evil  spirits  or  devils, 
which  have  taken  possession  of  or  located  themselves  in  the  body.

larkens  the 


room  or  waits  until  night;  then  in  the  i^resenco  of  the  assembled  house, 
hold  he  begins  operations;  he  takes  his  drum,  made  of  walrus  bladder 
stretched  over  a  hoop,  strikes  it  against  a  stick,  making  a  doleful  sound, 
during  which  time  he  alternately  commands  and  exhorts,  exciting  loud 
and  fervent  ejaculations  from  the  assembled  people.  At  first  the  per- 
formance is  mournful,  but  the  unutkoot  soon  warms  up  and  the  per- 
formance becomes  livelier.  He  winds  up  each  peroradon  with  a  ques- 
tionable glance  at  the  audience,  as  if  to  elicit  approval;  then  the 
responses  become  more  in  keeping  with  a  hilarious  entertainment,  such 
as  "  good  boy,"  "go  it  Tommy,"  etc. 

In  the  next  act  he  removes  the  patient's  clothing,  breathes  upon  and 
sucks  the  parts  affected ;  then  bringing  his  powers  of  ventriloquism 
into  play,  he  pretends  to  carry  on  a  conversation  with  invisible  spirits. 
Again  the  drumming  and  incantations  are  gone  through  with.  Sud- 
denly all  noise  ceases;  then  he  tiips  his  right  hand  behind  him,  throw- 
ing little  pebbles  on  the  floor  or  ground,  so  as  to  imitate  the  sound  of 
an  animal  scurrying  away.  The  patient  is  then  told  that  thfe  devil  is 
gone.  If  it  is  only  a  slight  illness  or  mental  depression,  their  faith  is  so 
great  that  the  afflicted  one  gets  well  anyhow. 

In  treating  rheumatism,  swellings  from  fractures,  or  syi^hilis,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  incantations  they  fearlessly  use  a  knife  in  lancing,  always 
cutting  into  the  part  affected,  where  they  insert  a  goose-quill  to  let 
out  blood  or  pus.  Thesy  cut  deep,  without  regarding  the  state  of  the 
wound  or  whether  it  is  ready  to  be  lanced  or  not.  Using  no  anaes- 
thetic and  carving  deliberately  with  a  knife  that  is  not  remarkable  for 
its  sharpness,  the  patient  endures  the  most  intense  agony,  his  screams 
being  heard  all  over  a  village. 

In  dealing  with  children  an  unutkoot  wears  a  mask  and  howls  in  a 
disguised  voice  to  scare  or  divert  their  minds.  The  performance  being 
over  he  takes  his  drum,  goes  around  a  house,  chanting  and  beating  an 
accompaniment,  and  describing  a  magic  circle,  to  keep  prowling  devils 
away. 

There  are  women  unutkoots,  but  none  of  a  high  degree. 

Eskimos  who  are  not  unutkoots  use  a  stick  4  or  5  feet  long,  one  end 
of  which  is  held  against  the  instep  of  a  patient,  while  they  chant  in  anx- 
ious efforts  to  banish  or  appease  the  tormenting  devil. 

Some  of  the  tricks  of  legerdemain  by  which  the  unutkoots  mystify 
their  people  are  apparently  driving  a  knife  into  their  bowels  without 
making  a  mark;  taking  a  marked  bead  in  their  hand,  showing  it  to  the 
audience,  toss  it  carelessly  out  into  the  snow,  and  later  on  remove  what 
appears  to  be  the  same  bead  frcm  some  man's  ear;  they  take  a  piece  of 
twine,  cut  it  into  two  pieces  2  inches  long,  open  the  mouth  to  show  that 
it  is  empty,  put  in  the  bits  of  twine,  a  piece  at  a  time,  chew  them  up, 
then,  after  much  heavitig  of  the  chest,  draw  forth  from  the  throat  the 
twine  in  its  original  length.

RELIGIOUS  BELIEFS  AND  SUPERSTITIONS. 


Eskimos  are  believers  in  ghosts.  They  also  believe  iu  the  transuii- 
gratioQ  of  souls,  that  spirits  return  in  animals,  winds,  rocks,  ice,  and 
water,  that  they  are  evil,  angry,  or  good,  as  the  elements  may  be  favor- 
able or  unfavorable,  and  that  they  can  be  appeased  by  hoodoo  rites  if 
the  performer  is  suflBciently  versed  iu  occult  sciences.  Childless 
women,  it  is  claimed,  can  not  return  to  the  surface  of  the  earth  after 
death.  To  change  the  wind,  for  instance,  they  chant,  di'um,  and  howl 
against  it,  build  fires,  shoot  against  it,  and  as  a  last  resource  fire  the 
graves  of  the  dead.  Tribes  put  hoodoos  on  each  other  by  ceremonial 
dances  and  howling.  The  hoodoo  of  total  destruction  upon  neighbors  is 
the  building  of  a  fire  within  sight  of  those  coming  under  their  displeas- 
ure. Tribal  relations  are  severed  by  making  a  fire  outside  and  burn- 
ing all  ornaments  or  disguises  used  in  ceremonial  dances,  such  as  raven 
skins,  eagle  tails,  deer  horns,  and  masks.  Tribes  that  are  hoodooed 
answer  by  a  return  hoodoo,  but  with  families  and  individuals  it  is  dif- 
ferent. Outlawed  by  their  tribe  or  relations,  they  become  (iiscouraged, 
hopeless,  and  gloomy,  and  literally  "  go  off  and  diCo"  In  whaling,  a 
husband  is  hoodooed  if  his  wife  is  confined  within  three  months  of 
the  whaling  season,  or  a  death  hoodoos  the  whole  family  till  the  boat  in 
which  they  intended  to  work  gets  a  whale ;  then  if  the  same  boat  gets 
another  whale  the  women  folks  are  released  from  the  hoodoo  and  may 
go  out  on  the  ice. 

Seals  when  brought  home  are  offered  a  drink  of  water;  a  little  of  it 
is  then  poured  on  the  seal's  nose,  and  the  rest  thrown  into  or  toward  the 
sea.  The  same  custom  is  observed  toward  the  white  grampus  (beluga 
de  mer)  and  whales  when  killed  and  brought  alongside  the  ground 
ice.  Eclipses  of  the  moon  create  the  greatest  consternation  and  almost 
paralyze  the  people  with  fear.  Arctic  earthquakes  having  been  coinci- 
dent v^  rU  eclipses  of  the  moon,  they  say  that  an  eclipse  is  the  shadow 
of  th'  ,  i  'th  being  piled  up  and  shaken.  All  the  unutkoots  in  a  vil- 
lage V  .11  howl  and  drum  till  it  is  passed,  claiming  that  they  have  driven 
the  tiling  away.  Among  the  Nooatoks  all  hands  rally  around  a  pair  of 
buckhorns,  form  a  circle,  and  march  around  to  the  music  of  drums  and 
wild  chants  till  the  eclipse  is  off.  One  old  Eskimo  described  a  calm  as 
being  a  struggle  between  spirits  of  the  wind  from  opposite  directions. 

FESTIVITIES. 

Festal  occasions  are  early  iu  December,  when  they  have  a  kind  of 
harvest-home,  entertainments  being  given  every  day  by  each  hut  in 
succession,  with  an  evening  dance  in  the  assembly  house.  A  day  will 
be  devoted  to  whales,  another  to  reindeer,  others  to  seal,  their  whale- 
boats,  sleds,  husbands,  sweethearts,  and  wives.  This  festival  is  kept 
up  until  the  whole  program  is  completed  or  some  one  dies  through  ex- 
haustion in  dances  of  endurance.

The  next  is  that  of  good-cheer,  in  June,  when  they  4]uit  whaling  and 
exchange  presents,  give  scraps  to  the  poor,  and  toss  each  other  up  in 
blankets.  Another  season  of  gaiety  is  when  the  representatives  of 
different  tribes  meet  at  the  summer  rendezvous  for  the  purpose  of  ex- 
changing commodities.  Dancing,  foot-races,  and  wrestling  matches 
are  indulged  in.  Both  sexes  join  in  games  of  polo,  foot- ball,  and  tag. 
In  summer  girls  toss  sandstone  balls  with  their  hands,  two  balls  with 
one  hand,  or  ^hree  balls  with  both  hands.  In  winter  they  toss  an  ice- 
ball  with  their  feet,  keeping  it  from  touching  the  ground  for  hours  at  a 
time  J  sometimes  they  toss  it  from  one  to  another.  Sometimes  the  exer- 
cise makes  their  feel  so  sore  that  they  tie  a  reindeer-skin  pad  across  the 
top  of  the  foot. 

In  December,  1888,  a  little  K^valinye  girl,  when  every  arrangement 
had  been  made  for  her  taking  a  husband,  begged  one  day  more  of  free- 
dom. Taking  her  ice-ball  she  tossed  it  throughout  the  short  gloomy  day 
till  it  was  too  dark  to  see,  unmindful  of  the  cutting  wind  and  drifting 
snow. 

HUNTING.  - 

The  primitive  methods  of  taking  game  were :  * 

(1)  Reindeer,  with  bows  and  arrows  j  rawhide  snares  secured  among 
the  dwarf  willows  that  line  the  creeks ;  great  brushwood  corrals  in  the 
timbered  country,  where  herds  were  driven  to  be  slaughtered  ;  chasing 
them  with  kyaks  and  spearing  them  to  death  while  crossing  lakes  or 
lagoons  ;  latterly,  chasing  herds  of  deer  with  dogs,  after  the  fawns  are 
dropped  into  the  rivers  and  rushing  torrents,  where  the  fawns  are 
drowned. 

(2)  Seal. — With  nets  suspended  under  blow-holes,  or  spearing  them 
when  they  put  their  heads  into  the  blow-holes. 

(3)  Walrtts. — They  are  speared  first  and  then  lanced. 

(4)  Whales. — Striking  them  with  spears  to  which  20  fathoms  of  walrus 
line  is  attached,  with  three  seal-skin  pokes  or  air-bags  tied  to  it.  These 
pokes  keep  the  whale  from  sinking  while  the  natives  get  around  it  with 
their  boats,  lance  and  worry  it  to  death. 

(5)  Birds. — Ptarmigans  are  caught  with  little  nooses  set  among  dwarf 
willows  and  with  nets  staked  down  into  the  snow,  into  which  they  are 
driven.  Lapland  larkspur  are  caught  with  tiny  nooses  made  of  whale- 
bone thread.  Little  auks,  puffins,  and  crow-bills  are  caught  with  nets 
suspended  over  cliffs.  Ducks,  geese,  and  brants  are  brought  to  the 
ground  by  means  of  ivory  or  bone  balls  tied  together  with  sinew  thread, 
thrown  into  flocks,  where  they  wind  around  the  necks  of  the  birds. 

(0)  Foxes  are  caught  with  dead-falls  or  automatic  nooses  set  in  holes 
in  the  snow.  The  fox  in  pulling  at  the  bait  draws  the  halter  around  his 
own  neck,  until,  alarmed,  he  surges  back  and  is  strangled. 

(7)  Lynx  they  run  down  till  close  enough  to  shoot. 

The  primitive  ways  of  taking  reindeer  have  been  abandoned,  except 
under  favorable  circumstances  among  the  Nooatoks.    Since  the  intro-

diiction  of  flip-ariim  the  roiiuU'cr  are  too  scary  to  br  iipproaclKHl  with 
bow8  and  arrows. 

The  natives  depend  on  reindeer  for  all  their  clothing  and  bedding, 
and  particuhirly  for  tents  and  liouses.  The  Ahiskan  Eskimos  ndrth  of 
Behring  Htrait  kill  about  fifteen  thousand  aniuially.  Many  of  the  na- 
tives have  adopted  American  methods  of  taking  whales,  in  a  modi  tied 
way.  From  Cape  Princo  of  Wales  to  Point  Barrow  they  get  about 
thirty  whales  annually  of  all  sizes.  The  whalemen  have  almost  elimi- 
nated the  walrus  from  their  food  supply.  Of  seals  they  get  about 
twenty  thousand  annually.  Like  the  deer,  they  are  killed  with  repeat- 
ing-rifles,  of  which  the  natives  have  the  latest  and  best  patterns — Win- 
chester 45-70,  45-CO,  and  44-50.  Hotchkiss's,  Marlin's,  and  Kennedy's 
exj)re88  and  telescope  rifles  an)  also  met  with.  There  is  scarcely  a 
male  Eskimo  over  twelve  years  of  age  who  does  not  own  one  or  more 
repeating-rifles.  They  receive  annually  from  the  ships  $,'iO,000  worth 
of  arms,  ammunition,  muslin,  and  flour,  at  San  Francisco  prices,  in  ex- 
change for  their  furs  and  whalebones.  As  there  is  much  rivalry  be- 
tween dittercut  traders,  the  natives  receive  full  valuatiou  for  their  pro- 
ducts. . 

DRESSING  SKINS. 

When  the  snow  has  whitened  the  ground,  and  the  streams  are  frozen 
over,  the  women  begin  dressing  skins. 

First  they  dry  and  scrape  the  skin,  removing  the  fat ;  then  it  is  moist- 
ened and  put  under  pressure  several  hours,  when  it  is  taken  out  and 
wet  with  warm  water  as  it  is  scraped.  This  done,  it  is  thrown  over  a 
line  to  dry  ;  then  as  it  is  scraped  it  is  sprinkled  with  chalk  or  any  kind 
of  white  rock  pulverized,  which  when  done  leaves  the  skin  soft  and 
white.  The  best  working-women  can  dress  two  reindeer-skins  for  ordi- 
nary purposes  within  twelve  hours,  but  a  fine  job  requires  three  days 
for  one  skin.  Sometimes  the  skins  before  being  nuide  up  are  dyed  a 
dark  brown  with  a  decoction  of  alder  bark,  obtainable  south  of  the 
Chapomeakarook  Mountains. 


DWELLINGS. 

The  coast  natives  have  fixed  villages  of  underground  houses  where 
they  live  in  winter.  In  summer  they  scatter  out  in  ditterent  parts  of 
their  hunting-grounds  or  go  to  the  difl'erent  places  where  the  natives 
meet  to  exchange  articles  of  trade.  During  these  excursions  they  live 
in  muslin  or  deerskin  tents. 

The  Nooatoks  have  no  fixed  abode  of  underground  houses,  but  live 
in  huts  framed  with  spruce  poles  covered  with  reindeer  skins.  In  winter 
the  hut  is  deeply  covered  with  snow.  In  the  latter  part  of  May,  when 
the  snow  begins  to  thaw,  they  take  out  their  effects  and  pitch  a  tent 
on  the  surface  of  the  snow.  As  soon  as  there  is  a  bare  spot  of  ground 
the  tent  is  removed  to  it.    The  Nooatoks,  like  the  wolves,  follow  up  the

reindeer  in  their  migrations  and  prey  upon  them,  stopping  in  one  place 
only  so  long  as  the  food  supply  lasts. 

•  BOATS. 

Enkimo  ooraeaks  (open  boats)  have  a  frame-work  of  spruce  covered 
with  split  walrus  hides,  sea-lion  skins,  or  white  grampus  skins;  the 
latter  is  not  used  if  sea-lion  or  walrus  skins  are  obtainable,  as  it  is 
rather  thin.  The  Behring  Strait  and  aorth  coast  boats  are  generally 
'24  feet  long  with  5  feet  beam,  and  have  a  carrying  cai)acity  of  15  per- 
sons and  500  pounds  of  freight. 

Those  of  Kotzebue  Sound  average  about  35  feet  in  length  and  C  feet 
in  width.  They  have  a  carrying  capacity  of  20  jiersons  and  1,000 
pounds  of  freight,  or  3,000  pounds  of  merchandise  and  a  crew  of  six 
men.  There  are  exceptional  boats  built  on  the  Sound  that  are  as  much 
as  42  feet  over  all.  In  crossing  Kotzebue  Sound  or  Behring  Strait  the 
natives  sew  on  bulwarks  of  sea-lion  skins  a  foot  high  to  keep  the  water 
from  dashing  in. 


NOTE  ON  ESKIMO  BIBLIOGRAPHY. 

By  Sheldox  Jackson, 
United  States  General  Agent  of  Education  in  Alanka. 

A  very  complete  "Bibliography  of  the  Eskimo  Language"  has  been 
compiled  by  Mr.  James  0.  Pilling,  and  published  by  the  Bureau  of  Eth- 
nology, Washington,  D.  C.  Whoever  examines  its  pages  must  be  im- 
pressed with  the  large  number  of  persons  who  have  unpublished  man- 
uscripts, containing  from  a  score  to  a  few  hundred  words ;  the  large 
number  of  printed  reports  of  Arctic  explorations,  which  contain  a  par- 
tial list  of  words  and  phrases:  and  the  fact  that  there  is  not  a  single 
comprehensive  English-Eskimo  vocabulary  in  print,  and  accessible  to 
teachers  and  others,  among  the  Alaskan  Eskimos. 

Among  the  most  important  in  the  past  are — 

Dr.  Benjamin  S.  Barton's  Vocabulary  of  the  Greeulander's  (from 
Cranz).    8vo;  pages,  132.     Pub.  Philadelphia,  1798. 

Bskimaux  and  English  Vocabulary,  compiled  by  Capt.  John  Wash- 
ington, R.  N.,  and  published  by  order  of  the  lords  commissioners  of  the 
admiralty  for  the  use  of  the  Arctic  Expedition  in  Search  of  Sir  John 
Franklin.    Oblong  1 2  mo.     160  pages.    Loudon.    1850. 

English-Aleutian  Dictionary  prepared  by  Stephen  N.  Buynitzky,  and 
published  by  the  Alaska  Commercial  Company.  San  Francisco,  1871. 
8  vo.     13  pp. 

The  above  are  out  of  print. 

The  most  recent  vocabulary  that  is  available  is  that  of  Lieut.  P.  H. 
Ray,  in  the  Report  of  the  International  Polar  Expedition  to  Point  Bar- 
row.   40      Washington,  D.  C,  1885.

Perhaps  the  moHt  important  contribution  to  the  EHkiniu  lan^nage  is 
in  process  of  preparation  by  L.  M.  Turner,  in  his  observations  made  in 
1882-1884,  and  will  be  published  in  connection  with  the  Signal  Service 
of  the  U.  S.  Army. 

It  will  contain  a  vocabulary  of  the  Koksoagmyut  of  over  7,000  words; 
the  Unalit  of  Norton  Sound,  3,000  words ;  the  Malimyut,  Norton  Sound, 
250  words;  and  the  Unalashka-Alyut  Dictionary  of  1,900  words.
